Come visit our beautiful Dive Center located in Podstine Bay, a short walk from Hvar town.

If you've ever wanted to try Scuba Diving or are interested in seeing what the Adriatic Sea has to offer, look no further than Viking Diving Center.

We run two daily dive excursions for those who already have their certification and can certify new divers completing courses through either PADI or SSI. For those wanting to dive on nitrox, we also have you covered.

The water conditions are on the colder side (16-24 degrees, seasonally depending) and most sites have a depth of 50m+. For this reason, those divers who have less than 40 logged dives or haven't been diving in the previous 6 months are required to do a refresh dive by the shopfront (because at Viking Diving safety comes first)! But don't be disappointed, as this is a beautiful shore dive with undulating rocky outcrops and an excellent chance of seeing both octopus and cuttlefish - a perfect way to get back in the water.

Peak summer periods (July - September) sees the shop become very busy, however winter diving is just as good, if not better. We also cater for groups and clubs keen on trying the 15+ local sites, all within a short boat ride of the shop.

Viking Diving has a highly professional Instructor team and uniquely for Croatian Diving Centers, a Hyperbaric and Medical Doctor.

We are open from the 1st of March until the 15th of December so come join us in exploring the underwater world of Hvar!

I went on 4 dives here with 2 different divemasters. Dave and Marek were both great! They were both very professional and safe, and I had a great time chatting with them both on the boat and on shore. They made me feel very comfortable and safe; more importantly I had such a good time! We saw loads of fish,...

This review is a long time coming, but well deserved. I was visiting Croatia in June of 2016. My travel buddy and I finally determined to do our open water certification. I’m so happy that we did! I had such a wonderful experience at Viking. Dave, our instructor, took plenty of time to explain important concepts and created a judgement...

We had the fortune to spend two weeks this autum with Viking Diving.
I was doing my advanced certification while my girlfriend did her very first dive as part of her open water course. From the first day both our instructors Dave and Stephen took very good care of us. My girlfriend was a bit nervous about diving but Dave...

Simple to say diving was a pleasure here.
From first contact before travelling to Croatia through to saying farewell to the team everything was a pleasure. Had dives with Dave and Marek and felt safe with both, everyone there enjoys diving and it is evident in their attitudes with smiles everywhere.
Will definitely be planning a return trip.

We had an awesome boat dive with Dave! They have a great setup on the boat and shore (elevator for gear from the water to the shop is genius). Dave was very helpful and informative. Wish we could have stayed and done more dives!

Had a great dive with Viking. A little hard to find the place, be sure to look for the diving signs or pick up a map in town. The instructors were very informative and not pushy in having you commit to more than you were ready for. Definitely recommend if at all thinking about taking a first dive lesson.

Helpful?

I did my PADI Open Water certificate at the Viking diving center. I had heard about all the skills you need to do and I wasn't quite sure how I'd manage it all. When we arrived at the Dive center we met Dave, who already has a lot of great reviews here, and in a split second I already started...

Whilst staying in Hvar I decided to do a refresher dive followed by a lesson to improve my somewhat dodgy buoyancy control. Very pleased with the help instructor Dave me.He patiently taught me the skills I needed.Then went on to complete my advanced PADI :-)
